That looks far better than I had in mind!

EDIT: Test card on the big TV says Studio 4, maybe the gallery they have controlling it? As there is an actual Studio 4 isnt there.

Is there any pictures of the BBC election studio yet or is it still being built at New Broadcasting House?

I suspect it's just the standard Studio B set with election specific graphics and lighting. Probably an overlaid virtual screen hiding the cameras.

VR will be doing a lot more heavy lifting than that.

Yes, there is a Studio 4, but it's not being used for the election due to a previous booking - Skavlan for SVT.

Gallery 4 and PRC22 are controlling the facilities in Sky Central. Augmented reality Technocrane and wirecam, jib, Steadicam, etc...

It looks like they've had the scaffolders in at Grays Inn Road. (Either that, or it's a temporary lighting rig for ITV)

Yep, the atrium will be used again as a presentation area for ITV's election night coverage.

Does that mean unlike previous elections, they will all be based in the atrium, and Studio 1 would be mostly used for the VR interactive bits?

I think he means Studio 1 will be the main studio and the atrium will be used for social media bits and other guests. Much the same as 2015 and 2017.
